It’s still early in the Salem Willows season, however there are many positive signs of things to come this season.
Kudos to JJ Phelan construction and the city of Salem for really stepping up the park construction of Salem Willows Phase II. Although there’s still much work to be done, there’s been tremendous progress on the project in the last 2 weeks. New cement walkways to the new pier, new picnic areas and tables, many new trash receptacles and recycling containers, new drainage, new electrical and new trees! Many people who have come here their whole lives will not recognize the area being refurbished.
In our humble opinion, we think it’s really shaping up and will look amazing when completed and cared for. Everyone should check it out sometime soon. Fences will be down by Memorial Day when the grass and planting take. Salem will have a new/old special place to help celebrate our 400th anniversary as a city!
We’ll be open:
Saturday 11am-7pm
Sunday 11am-5pm weather permitting call after 4pm to confirm.

We’ll also have the first few ice cream flavors of the season later today! Call for flavors. We’ll post an update later with our selection.
We’re also taking Buttered popcorn Batch orders at EWHobbs.com to ship out all over the USA on Monday this week.
For those wondering:
The Willows Arcade is open today!
Also, Peppys Pizza, Super Taco, and Sage Fusion Kitchen are open for business.
Although not open yet, we’ve seen signs of life at Gennaros Cutlets, Boba Tea, and the Merry go Round. We expect them to open in the coming weeks.
Enjoy the Day!
